Falling Skies S02E03 "Compass" OAD 6/24/2012

For better or for worse, the show definitely has a BSG feel to it now.

Anyone get the feeling Charleston, South Carolina is one of the "reservations" the aliens was trying to recommend to Mason? It would help at least explain away why that chick is able to freely fly around so much without fear of being shot down.

I liked this episode a lot. The first 3 so far this season a drastic improvement over season 1. The new crew has done a damn good job so far. I am liking the new darker tone of this season. I only worry since they are writers of BSG they don't have a long term arc in mind and just write on the fly. That only works so long before it crumbles on its self. So far so good can't wait for next week.

They are being pushed to a reservation not doubt in my mind. If it is to good to be true idefiantlyly is. The aliens would be all over a city with 3k people. If she was not an alien stooge that plane would of been shot down. If they can track heat of a car they can track the head of a plane.

Yeah, it was really good, but did she ever explain why they're just letting this big settlement be there? Whether they know it or not, the aliens must be letting them stay there for some reason. Just gather everyone together for a year or so, and then wipe them all out at once.

Also, did they even question whether the girl was one of those controlled by the skitters like the girl who talked to Mason? Did they have the spikes in their neck like Ben? Even if they did, they may have found a less obvious way to control them--like maybe a little worm....

Also it seemed weird that Pope got all excited about Mason when he came back, but has let Ben be there all this time.

Is Ben aware that the skitter is talking to him, or is he blacking out?

And it was the right eye. The bug flew into the left eye of a skitter. I don't know if that is a continuity problem or just a different skitter.

I am loving the show, but people are just not behaving in a normal way. In regular life, you keep feelings for each other bottled up as you're afraid of putting yourself out there. In a situation where you could die in 5 minutes, people who like each other would give rabbits a run for their money in the sex department.

I don't think the bug has anything to do with the eye color, but rather with the fact that it went to the "special" skitter. The red-eyed skitter has shown up a few times (in the ship, and I think it was the one shooting all the "escaped" prisoners). They even made it clear he was different when Ben (or his dead buddy) mentioned it being creepy or something like that. He will be important in the future, I am betting.

We don't know what their birth control supplies are like. I don't think too many women would want to be pregnant during an alien apocalypse. Or maybe they're all devout, Pope fearing Catholics.
